Finding peace with the idea of death after Ramadan... is this a common feeling?
As-salamu alaykum everyone, Living in the Middle East with all the tension and conflict around, I’ve noticed something unusual in myself lately, especially after Ramadan ended. For some reason, I’m not really afraid of death anymore. It’s like if it were to happen, I think I’d be at peace with it-maybe even content. Let me be clear, I’m not planning anything; it’s more that I feel like I’ve lost a bit of my drive to cling to life. During Ramadan, I was really connected spiritually-praying more, making duʿā’, and feeling close to Allah. But now that it’s over, things just feel kind of empty and distant from this world (dunya). I’m trying to figure out if this is a normal spiritual state, like being less attached to dunya, or if it’s something unhealthy, like losing hope or purpose. It’s confusing because part of me feels calm, but another part wonders if I’m caring less about living. From an Islamic perspective, is this typical? Has anyone else gone through something similar after Ramadan or in tough times? JazakAllah khair.
